## Insider tips

- _Insider_: For any night operations, remember that operations are PPR only – plan to call ahead and confirm arrangements with local management.
- _Local_: Ultralight activity is a common sight at AFN, adding a community feel to this small, friendly backcountry airpark.

- _Quiet_: Expect a quiet environment with much slower aircraft activities, especially outside of peak aviation times.
- _Money_: With no facilities like ATMs or shops, travelers should be prepared with all necessary amenities prior to arrival.
- _Time_: The airfield’s no-frills setup means quick turns but zero commercial baggage handling, so allocate time accordingly for any manual loading tasks.
- _Insider_: Wildlife on the field is flagged by SkyVector – don't skip the pre-takeoff wildlife scan to avoid potential hazards.
